Local residents identified the suspected attackers as Mohammad Harul Khan and another man named Rohit. Safiq, a local developer from the Peelkhana area, had reportedly gone out to buy food when he was targeted.
Family members alleged that the murder stemmed from a past quarrel. “There was a problem with Harul a long time ago. But there was no enmity. Harul brought another person and shot him,” a relative told reporters.
Police said further action will be taken once the accused are traced and arrested.
